For some reason this whole album reminds me a lot of Anakin, but especially this song ("degaussing" means to remove/eliminate a remnant magnetic field, which also seems symbolically fitting??) - idk the guitars are like fingernails on the chalkboard of your soul, except the nails are swords and also the chalkboard is on fire.

Okay I'll stop rambling now... X) but I just wanted to draw something a bit symbolic (originally the water ripples were meant to also look like magnetic field lines, but that sort of got lost in translation orz), and practice a style to work towards making prints

Indeed...in fact, I'd have to say that they're my favorite. LOVE the tragic romance of their clever lyrics along with the low/high vocals and gorgeous (yet, oftentimes mournful) melodies...VERY Anakin and Padme, in my opinion! *Jedi bow*

Aww thank you! And yes I'm taking the part time course I was so happy that they ended up being able to organise one! It's been really interesting and helpful so far (though I need to stop falling behind on the homework -_-) Do you think you'll start sometime in the future?

How has work/art been going for you? (aw and thank you to your friend too!! )

I hear the homework has been crazy on everyone including full-timers so you shouldn't feel bad haha. I mean you still work heaps right? It's pretty admirable that you can organise your time at all XD I'd probably not survive it which is why I'm still completely undecided on the future right now.

I'm adjusting to this full time work thing, still trying to find that balance with art and stuff

I seriously just freak out happily when I find out more people listen to Brand New. This song is so Anakin, omg. <3 <3

I really love water reflection, he looks like a demon/god rising from the water.

If you want to know more songs that fit Anakin check out Coheed & Cambria and the album The Afterman: Desecension. And the songs Iron Fist and Dark Side of Me. They are completely Anakin. Actually even the whole album is. And part one of the album, Ascension.

This is so great. I really feel this sums up what Anakin was going through the entire movie. Deep down, he's always wanted to to do the right thing, but he's also always had issues with following the rules. It was a struggle that eventually broke him, in a way, and I think that this piece shows it very well. Great job!
